AlphaGo vs. AlphaGo; Game 24: More human?

"It could be that the way humans play go is changing, but in this game AlphaGo plays a lot of moves that human players are playing these days," says Michael Redmond 9P in the latest installment of his game commentaries with E-Journal Managing Editor Chris Garlock. "There's a lot of fighting, as usual, but the territory is balanced and right up into the endgame there are groups whose life and death status is ambiguous," Redmond says. "That affects the way the endgame is played, which makes it really interesting."
